Thanks for the input.  I didn't get much, but what I got was helpful.
The original post follows the HIT.  Have a wonderful Holiday!!

I have

Going for Gold! By Andrew Donkin

Speedskating By Larry Dane Brimner

Bobsledding and the Luge By Larry Dane Brimner

A Picture Book of Jesse Owens By David Adler

And, of course, Hour of the Olympics By Mary Pope Osborne

And Ancient Greece and the Olympics: a non-fiction companion to Hour of
the Olympics by Mary Pope Osborne

 

I like Koala Lou by Mem Fox but that isn't what you are looking for.

 

 

 

ORIGINAL POST:

 

Hi All!

 

Help!  As I'm trying to purchase books on the Olympics for my K-1 kids,
I'm not finding anything that's appropriate.  So many of the biographies
on Olympic athletes are for an older audience...or the reviews encourage
you to pass on the item!

 

I just left a message for my Heinemann/ABDO rep, but can anyone suggest
any great books...or other sources??
